FAQs
What is Kavach Essentials?
Kavach Essentials is a protective wear brand offering thoughtfully designed scarves and unisex masks. Our products combine comfort, style, and functionality to protect you from dust, pollution, and harsh sunlight-making them ideal for everyday use. Each product is designed keeping urban lifestyles and long outdoor exposure in mind.
What types of scarves does Kavach Essentials offer?
We offer two thoughtfully engineered styles:
• Cap Scarves: Designed to cover the head and face completely, providing enhanced protection from pollution and dust.
• Support Scarves (Without Cap): These scarves feature discreet head fusing that helps them stay in place, so you don’t have to worry about slipping or adjusting-especially while riding or driving.
Both styles are suitable for daily commuting and outdoor activities.
What materials are used in Kavach products?
We use premium-quality muslin fabric that is soft, breathable, and gentle on the skin, ensuring all-day comfort without irritation.
Our protective masks include a 5-layer PM 2.5 filter, featuring activated carbon and non-woven melt-blown filter cloth, designed to help reduce exposure to harmful airborne particles.

Why should I wear a mask, and when should I use one?
The air you breathe directly impacts your overall health. Urban air often contains invisible pollutants from sources you may not even be aware of. These pollutants can irritate the nasal tract, damage the lungs, and negatively affect long-term respiratory health.
Kavach masks are designed to be simple, non-invasive, and comfortable, enabling you to step outdoors with confidence. Whether you’re commuting, traveling, or spending extended time outdoors, wearing a mask helps reduce exposure to harmful airborne particles—while keeping your look stylish and effortless.
Can wearing a mask help protect me from allergies?
Yes, absolutely. Many allergies are triggered when allergens attach themselves to airborne pollutants. When these foreign particles enter the body, the immune system releases histamine, causing itching, swelling, and
irritation.
Kavach masks help filter polluted air, providing an added layer of protection against allergens and reducing allergy-related discomfort.
Can I use Kavach masks if I have sensitive lungs or a respiratory condition?
Yes—and in fact, regular use is strongly recommended.
Fine particulate matter such as PM 2.5 is known to contribute to asthma, respiratory inflammation, lung malfunction, and other serious health concerns. Prolonged exposure to polluted air can worsen existing respiratory conditions and increase long-term health risks.
If you have sensitive lungs or a respiratory condition, wearing a high-quality protective mask like Kavach can play an important role in supporting your respiratory well-being.
Are Kavach Essentials products reusable?
Yes. Our scarves and fabric masks are washable and reusable. With proper care, the fabric maintains its colour, quality, and effectiveness even after multiple washes, making them both sustainable and cost-effective.
How should I care for my Kavach Essentials products?
We recommend gentle hand-wash or machine-wash using a mild detergent. Air-dry for best results. Avoid bleach, harsh chemicals, or strong detergents, as the products are designed for direct contact with your skin and face.
Do you ship across India?
Yes, we offer pan-India shipping. Delivery timelines may vary based on your location and the selected shipping option. Estimated delivery details are shared at checkout.
Can I track my order?
Absolutely. Once your order is shipped, you will receive an email with your tracking details so you can monitor your delivery in real time.

Yes. Please refer to our Refund & Shipping Policy page for complete information on eligibility, timelines, and process for returns or exchanges.
